	abstract = {We report the synthesis of three methylamide acrylate monomers with varying spacer length between the polymerizable acrylate and pendant amide functionalities; methylamide ethyl acrylate (MAmEA), methylamide propyl acrylate (MAmPA) and methylamide butyl acrylate (MAmBA). Each monomer was subsequently polymerised via redox-initiated reversible addittion-fragmentation chain transfer (RRAFT) to yield well-defined homopolymers with differing physicochemical properties. All homopolymers were found to be amorphous, and thermally degrade via a two-step decomposition process. Whilst P(MAmEA) and P(MAmPA) were found to be soluble in aqueous solution between 30-80 degrees C, P(MAmBA) showed a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behaviour. Detailed aqueous solubilty studies performed on P(MAmBA) revealed that the cloud point temperature (T-cp) could be tuned based on the degree of polymerisation (DPn), concentration and nature of the aqueous media, highlighting its potential use as a water-soluble, thermoresponsive polymer in a range of applications.},
